Make an iPhone work on a 20" iMac G4
Authored by: jdownward on Jul 24, '07 06:44:13AM

Using the System Profiler, with mouse plugged into keyboard and keyboard plugged into any one of the three physical USB ports, the two empty ports appear to be USB 1.1 ports. It does not matter which of the three ports the keyboard is plugged into.

Attaching the iPhone to either of the two empty ports leaves those ports alone and the Phantom USB 2.0 port appears in the list of USB ports. Moving around which port the keyboard/mouse plugs into, has no effect on this behavior, and while iPhoto will see the iPhone on phantom USB 2.0 port (which ever physical port it is plugged into).

I have been unable to get the iPhone to be recognized by iTunes when it sits on this Phantom port (regardless of which physical port it is plugged into). On the other hand, our iPhones are always found when they connect to a physical USB port that reports itself (prior to iPhone being plugged in) as being either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0.
